Many people think about building muscles as abandoning life outside the gym and devoting hours in the gym like a monk in a monastery. Perhaps the only way to chisel the body into a hot muscular physique is by toiling hour by hour over the rusty iron day in, day out and year in, year out.

This need not be so. Although hard work is truly required, extreme fitness demands one to be a slave of the iron weights. Full-body work outs can make one progress and it easily fits in one's schedule. This is very convenient if one is looking forward to achieving extreme fitness but finds it hard to hold on to a single work out routine.

Genuine full-body work outs done by athletes with an aim in mind makes for maximum muscle contraction using heavy weights, makes room for full recovery so one can actually grow and continue to train hard plus it also prevents burnout which is inevitable due to excess training.

So if one is ready for extreme fitness, here is all there is to know about full body work out:

Full-body work out is a time saver. The biggest plus about having the whole body trained all at once is probably having to go to the gym less frequently; perhaps around two to three times for every seven days would be enough.

Another advantage of working out the entire body all at once is that one need not spend two or more hours of strenuous exercise in the gym for every session; one only spends one hour in the gym for every session. So that's just three to four hours per week in the gym right? With full-body work outs, it is all about the quality of exercise one does for session and not the quantity, nor even the amount of time you allot per session.

Full-body work out boosts the cardiovascular system for extreme fitness. One must allot two to four sets for every body part into the one hour session. Jam packed with exercising, each one hour session then gets the heart and the rest of the cardiovasular system pumping and up to speed in a flash.

Now feeling pumped up, next find out what rules does one have to follow when engaging in full-body work outs:

Training commences only once every two to three days. This is so easy isn't it? What is great about this is that there is time spared during rest days so that one can indulge in a few cardio exercise sessions instead of depending on cardio execises one normally does at the end of each work out session which after all, are not at all very effective.

Heavy lifting is strongly advised. Contrary to popular belief, especially among athletes. It is not true that it is good to get trapped on training lightly than one actually could so as to conserve energy for the other body parts that will come later in the routine. What is true is that one cannot achieve optimal progress if one is not training heavy, no matter which program that person is doing.

One exercise only per muscle group. This is very easy to follow and is also important. Doing basic exercises which are also intense means you do not have to do another different exercise for that body part.

Keep work out short. Resistance training affects the natural homones of the body connected to muscle building. Intense exercising boosts the testosterone levels and long work outs increase those of catabolic cortisol. Sixty minutes of work out allows you to get the best of both worlds.

Now with this convenient and powerful work out regimen, one can now truly experience extreme fitness.

If you wear a size 14 and you blow a bundle on designer size 8 dresses as motivation, you will probably end up feeling guilty, frustrated, and angry if you are not slinking around in it a month later.

In reality, you will do much better setting smaller, achievable targets for yourself. If you must try the new-clothes strategy, go down a size at a time, and do not buy anything you have to take out a second mortgage to pay for.

Because, if you continue to remorse on losing weight fast, you will end up incorporating fad diets or those that offer quick weight loss.

For most people who are not aware of this fact, there are no such things as quick weight loss diets and there is no nippy weight loss for people who want to be slimmer than what their body can provide.

The problem with most people is that they tend to opt for nippy fixes wherein fact these things are not effective at all.

What Does Not Work

Today, there are plenty of weight-loss strategies that are guaranteed to backfire. This is because these nippy fixes instilled on certain diet plans are, in reality, not efficient because it does not employ the right principle and the right attitude in losing weight.

These quick weight loss diet plans are known as fad diets because that is exactly what they are, just a fad. In time, when fashion is over and popularity wanes down, people will realize that the diet they have depended on is not reliable at all.

To know more about these fad diets that are selling like hotcakes in the market today, here is a list of some telltale signs that would tell you not to try it even once.

Here they are:

1. Skipping meals

Does your diet plan require you to skip meals? If it does, then, it is a fad diet.

Abstain from food completely is not a healthy habit. It may even cause some serious complications or problems especially for people who are sick with diabetes.

Skipping meals will only cause a hypoglycemia, or the condition wherein your blood sugar is really low, and will probably only be effective in making you eat twice as much at the next meal.

2. Dieting without exercise, or vice versa

Exercise is crucial to the human body. It is important in the proper blood circulation and other activities of the human body system.

Therefore, diet plans that do not require you to exercise are nuisances. People are born to move.

But then again, exercise alone is not sufficient. Hence, it would be better if diet and exercise will go hand-in-hand.

3. Continuous dawdling

There is no better time to start losing weight. If you want to really lose those excess fats, you have to lose weight now.

Delaying tactics will not get you anywhere and will only make the problem worse. So, if your diet plan suggests a certain timeframe for you start losing weight, chances are, you are following the trend of fad diets.

Boiled down, it is best to rely more on the way you feel than the tale of the tape. This means that if the weighing scale tells you that you are losing weight even if it is slower than you would like, but you are feeling energetic and positive about your weight-loss efforts, then, you are just doing fine.

As mentioned and is worth mentioning all over again, weight loss is not a quick process.

Diabetes UK (Version 3, March 2014) has found 3.2 million people
are diagnosed with diabetes in the UK in 2013. Also, by 2025, five
million people might have diabetes in the UK. While diabetes is a
serious problem, your health may get worsened if you find you are
suffering from foot problems because of diabetes. Yes, it has been found
that many Britons who have diabetes suffer from foot problems. So, if
you have diabetes, Type 1 or 2, you must take proper care of your feet
to keep it healthy and fit in all seasons and weather.

If you have
a rash on your face or hands, you notice it immediately. Unfortunately,
most of the time a rash or cut in our foot goes unnoticed which if left
untreated for a long time leads to serious complications such as
amputation.

If you don't control diabetes, it starts affecting
your nerves, muscles, sweat glands and disrupts blood circulation in the
feet and legs resulting in amputations. You must therefore check your
feet every day when suffering from diabetes to prevent foot related
complications. Mostly, people suffer from lower limb amputations
according to the findings of Diabetes UK. In 80% cases, amputations in
diabetes patients are preventable. You must visit a good doctor every
month to get your feet checked properly.

The check-up may include
carefully seeing your foot skin, whether any rashes or redness has
appeared and reading the pulses and temperature of your foot.

How Can Diabetes Affect Your Feet?

Diabetes can cause two main problems that can affect your feet: Diabetic neuropathy and Peripheral vascular disease.

Diabetic Neuropathy

If you don't control diabetes and the glucose level in
your blood constantly rises, it will soon lead to nerve damage. Damaged
nerves in your foot and legs might cause pain and lead to lose of
sensation in your foot. This loss of feeling is medically known as
"sensory diabetic neuropathy". It might happen you had a cut in your
foot but you didn't have any pain or sensation until your parents or
friends told you had a cut.

Leaving cuts untreated for days might lead
to serious complications including fungus infection. Moreover, your foot
muscles may stop functioning because of damaged nerves in the foot
muscles. Inactive foot muscles might lead to exerting too much pressure
on one area of your foot leading to balance and posture problem.
According to some studies, many amputations lead to foot ulceration due
to nerve damage and poor blood flow to the foot and leg. Various studies
have also suggested that there are about 80,000 people with foot ulcers
in the UK.

Peripheral Vascular Disease

If you have diabetes, it will surely affect the flow of
blood to your foot and legs. Without proper blood flow, it will take
time to heal any cut or bruises. Poor blood circulation in the arms and
legs is medically termed as "peripheral vascular disease". The condition
also affects blood flow to the heart. If you have a cut which is not
healed quickly, chances are you will develop ulcers or gangrene, which
is death of tissue due to lack of blood.

Tips for Diabetes Foot Care

Daily Care

You must wash and clean your feet with mild soap and warm
water. After drying your foot, apply moisturizer cream or lotion on
your feet to prevent dry skin. Do not soak your feet in warm water, as
you might develop fungus infection.

Weekly Care

To prevent ingrown toenails cut your toenails straight
with a nail clipper. Round the corners of your toe nails or cut down the
sides to make them smooth.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease or in short, COPD, refers
to lung diseases that could include chronic bronchitis, emphysema and
chronic obstructive airways disease. This disease affects the lungs of
people and they usually have difficulty in breathing. The difficulty in
breathing is caused due to the narrowing of the airway and this causes
obstruction in the flow of air to and from the lungs.

Causes of COPD

The
most common cause of COPD is smoking. Even though this disease can also
be caused by pollution, dust, fumes and genes, these causes are very
rare and most of the people who suffer from COPD are those who smoke.

The
more a person smokes, the more likely is that person to suffer from
COPD or increase the severity of the disease. Everyone knows that
smoking is bad for the lungs. The more smoke that goes in, the more the
lungs get inflamed. This leads to scarring of the lungs, which makes the
airways thicken and become narrower. The lungs also become less
elastic. All these changes lead to formation of phlegm, mucus,
breathlessness and other breathing problems, leading to chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease.

Most Likely Affected by COPD

COPD
usually presents itself when a person is about 35 years old. The
problem is that most people who smoke do not notice the signs of COPD
and simply dismiss it as a cough because of the smoking. They either
live with COPD or it often gets diagnosed when they are in their
fifties. If the following symptoms start to occur, especially for those
who smoke, it is advisable to visit a doctor and get checked so that
this disease can be diagnosed and treated as early as possible.

• Frequently occurring breathlessness

• A continuous cough accompanied by phlegm

• Chest infections

Prevention and Treatment of COPD

The
best way to prevent COPD is to stop smoking. The more you smoke, the
more likely you are of getting this disease. In order to stop smoking,
you need to consciously change your entire lifestyle and try your best
to quit smoking. This can be done with the help of nicotine patches or
chewing gum. Visit a doctor to guide you on how to reduce your smoking
the correct way.

Even for those who already suffer from COPD, it
is necessary to stop smoking immediately. Even though the lung damage
cannot be treated, you can use various medicines in order to keep the
COPD under control. Some may need to carry an inhaler for the
breathlessness or may be prescribed medicines to relieve the pain.

Very few people may have to go in for surgery if this condition gets serious.

People
with COPD should also make an effort to exercise regularly, practice
breathing exercises and try to improve their quality of life in order to
keep this condition under control.

Owl Now Urgent Care
is a unique solution for those who need emergency care at any time of
the day or night. Instead of waiting in long lines for your turn at the
hospital, this facility provides fast and efficient service for all
kinds of breathing problems, injuries and other emergency situations.

Urinary incontinence is a problem that many women suffer with.
Although there are men who experience this condition as well, it is much
more prevalent in women. According to statistics there are
approximately 25 million Americans who have some form of urinary
incontinence and over 200 million people worldwide. 80% of these people
are women.

Only one in 8 people who have urinary incontinence are
actually diagnosed while the remaining continue to suffer the often
unpleasant and embarrassing symptoms. There are various lifestyle and
dietary changes one can undertake that can help alleviate some of the
symptoms associated with urinary incontinence.

Symptoms of Urinary
Incontinence: This loss of bladder control is chiefly characterized by a
problem in controlling one's urination. It is often an involuntary
leakage of urine that can occur in everyday moments such as when
laughing or coughing. This makes it a very stressful event for those who
experience it. There are two types of incontinence and they are known
as stress incontinence and urge incontinence. The stress type was
described above. Urge incontinence is more severe and involves larger
amounts of urine leaking and a frequent feeling of needing to urinate.
Most women will have a combination of these two.

Causes of Urinary
Incontinence: Women will often get stress incontinence from having had
children or from gaining too much weight. Excess weight can weaken the
bladder muscles leading to this condition. With urge incontinence it
remains unclear as to what the initial cause is. However it could be due
to some sort of irritation to the bladder.

Testing and Diagnosis:
When seeing your medical provider you will receive a series of tests to
determine if you have urinary incontinence. These include a bladder
stress test and a urinalysis. If the doctor wants more advanced testing
it may include a urodynamic test, ultrasounds and a cystometry test
which helps to measure pressure on the bladder.

Once the doctor
determines your diagnosis he or she will then be able to prescribe a
course of treatment that will help alleviate and potentially completely
control the incontinence. These are some of the medications that you may
be prescribed;
Imipramine which is an antidepressant, Duloxetine which
is also an antidepressant; low dose estrogen in a cream topical form and
anticholinergics which work to make the bladder calmer.

Dietary
and Lifestyle Changes: Of course in addition to these medical treatments
there are numerous things you can do to help yourself with this
problem. There is a common misconception that reducing your fluid intake
will help make you urinate less frequently. This is not the right
approach as it could lead to dehydration. You should stay hydrated for
your health and this should be 6-8 glasses of water daily.

Include other
beverages that you may be drinking towards this total amount. You
should limit caffeine, alcohol and soda from your diet as these can be
irritating to the bladder. Try to avoid drinking fluids at night.

Sugar:
Eating too much sugar is unhealthy in general and particularly so if
you have urinary incontinence. Sugar can also irritate your bladder.
Many foods have hidden sugar in them so always read labels carefully.
Sugar includes products that contain fructose and honey. Cranberry
juice: there has been a common misconception that cranberry juice helps
with urinary incontinence in women. It is helpful with urinary tract
infections. However with urinary incontinence it can aggravate the
problem due to its acidity.

Lifestyle changes: Exercise is very
important to helping this condition. There are specific exercises known
as "Kegal" methods. The Kegal method is exercise that strengthens the
pelvic muscles thus helping you to have more control in urinary flow.
With continued use you should see an improvement.

Obesity: If you
are overweight or obese your urinary incontinence condition will be
further aggravated. Losing weight and being fit will certainly help you.
For example if you have a heavy abdomen you will put additional
pressure on your bladder and further weaken the muscles. When you take
the weight off you will naturally strengthen these muscles that are not
burdened any longer.

Other techniques: There has been success for
many women by trying to control the urge to urinate when when they feel
an overwhelming need to do so. Your immediate sensation is to run to the
bathroom to alleviate yourself. However if you can try to retrain your
bladder to wait a bit longer you may eventually stop urinating as
frequently. Start slowly and with what you are comfortable in doing. For
example, begin with trying to wait 10 minutes before urinating when you
get that urge to go. Work your way up to 15 to 20 minutes if you can.
This technique can eventually train your bladder and you will not need
to urinate as frequently as before.

Clearly urinary incontinence
is a problem for many women and can definitely affect the quality of
their lives. By incorporating a sound plan that includes medical
intervention and lifestyle and dietary changes you see experience
significant improvement and controlling over this condition. Remember as
with any dietary or lifestyle changes, always consult with your medical
provider before doing so, particularly if you have any disease or are
taking prescription medication.

Shaken baby syndrome, or SBS, is a form of child abuse. It occurs
when an abuser, generally an adult, violently shakes an infant or small
child. The shaking motion creates a whiplash-esque motion that causes
severe acceleration-deceleration injuries.

This type of injury, or
abuse, is thought to affect between 1,200 and 1,600 children every year
in the United States alone. The injury type is not restricted to the
United States. All countries have the problem to some degree. One
remarkable feature of shaken baby syndrome is that there is, typically,
no external evidence of trauma. When a baby is shaken and strikes a hard
object, this is called shaken impact syndrome, in many cases.

Shaken
baby syndrome, as a concept, was originally described in the early
1970s. The description was based on a theory and a wide variety of
circumstances and was posited by Drs. John Caffey and Norman Guthkelch.
Dr. Caffey was a radiologist while Dr. Guthkelch was a neurosurgeon.

While
it may sound minor, shaken baby syndrome is a major cause of mortality
in infants. When it is not fatal, it can produce lifelong disabilities
due to neurological damage. It is estimated that up to 50% of all deaths
related to child abuse are due to shaken baby syndrome. Between one
fifth and one quarter of all infant victims of shaken baby syndrome die
due to their injuries. When the baby does not die, the consequences are
serious as well. They include visual impairment (blindness), motor
impairment (cerebral palsy), and cognitive impairments.

Small
children up to the age of three are particularly vulnerable to brain
damage due to being shaken. This is due to a variety of anatomical
factors. For starters, babies' heads are larger and make up a larger
proportion of their body weight than adults' heads. In addition, a
baby's neck muscles are weak and cannot help prevent violent motions.

Another
problem is that infants' heads do not have myelin sheaths. Myelin
sheaths are part of the brain's structure but are not developed
completely until adolescence. As neurons gain myelin during development,
the water content of the brain is reduced. As a consequence, babies'
brains have a higher percentage of brain water than adults. Because of
the high water content, babies' brains are softer and more susceptible
to acceleration-deceleration injuries as well as diffuse axonal
injuries.

In shaken baby syndrome, rotation injuries are
especially damaging and particularly likely to occur in shaking trauma.
The types of injuries caused by shaking injuries are generally not
caused by falls or impacts due to normal play. Those injuries are
typically due to linear forces.

When we say foods are high in calories, we think they must be
unhealthy. The foods that we have mentioned are very dense in calories
but they are still a healthy diet in moderation. We need at least some
dietary fat for our hormones to function properly and to absorb minerals
and vitamins. Doctors recommend not less than 15% fat from your diet.
Check out the following healthiest fat and high cal foods.

Olive Oil

Olive
oil is the best alternative to stick on margarine and butter, it is
very important to keep serving size in mind. Just one tablespoon of
olive oil has 120 cal. Yes olive oil is high in fat, it is high in
mono-unsaturated fat and it has several health benefits including
maintaining healthy cholesterol levels and lowering the risk of
cardiovascular diseases, breast cancer, and Alzheimer's. You can use
olive oil with salads, roasted veggies and as a replacement for
margarine.

Homemade Granola

It is one of the foods that have
always been classified as healthy. It is important to check the
nutrition facts on granola package. Mostly it is made with natural
ingredients such as oats, nuts and seeds; granola is full of nutrients.
These are high in calories about 300 cal per half cup. Homemade granola
is best way to enjoy it from guilt free. Keep your serving size to ¼ to ½
cup and you can enjoy with plain yogurt or milk.

Avocado

Creamy,
smooth and nutritious avocado have it all. They are full of vitamin C
and K, potassium, fiber and many other nutrients. A half avocado gives
you 15 gm of the good monounsaturated fat, and despite technically being
a fruit, they have almost no sugar (0.2 gm per one half). Keep in mind a
whole avocado ranges between 300 and 500 cal.

Almond Butter

Like
granola, almond butter is yet another rich in nutrients food you can
enjoy, but it can be loaded with added sugar and fat. Nuts generally are
high in cal, around 190 to 200 calories per handful. One serving size
of almond butter (2 tablespoons) has about 4 gm of protein, 2 gm of
fiber, and 18 gm of fat. It also has iron, vitamin E and magnesium. A
little bit of almond butter goes a long way- one serving size has up to
200 calories. Avoid reduced fat versions of almond butter, because they
actually have higher sugar content. Plus, try to buy almond butter with
the fewest added ingredients, and the low in sugar and sodium contents.
Natural brands usually have fewer additives compared to their commercial
counterparts.

Dark Chocolate

Most of us have heard it: dark
chocolate is good for you. It is full of nutrients and antioxidants
plus it may help lower your blood pressure and can control blood sugar
level, and additionally boost your mood. One bar of chocolate can have
around 530 cal. Munch on one bar throughout the week or pick up
individually wrapped dark chocolate for 50 cal a piece. While these
foods are high in calories, they certainly can be part of a diet that
promotes health and of well-being.

Have you ever felt tired and stressed out from work and by the time you get home you see your three children running towards you asking you to play basketball with them? You refused and promised them that you will after you take you rest.

Instead of disappointing your children, why not say, "yes" after all? You will be surprised by the amount of energy you will have after that 30-minute activity.

Did you know that by exercising at a moderate pace for only 30 minutes, you would feel a lot better, mentally? It has been proven that this improves the appetite and sharpens your style in problem solving. Not only that.

Here are some moderate exercises you can do and enjoy:

1. Do the Walking. Make use of your surroundings. You can walk your dog, with your partner or child. Encourage your family to do the walking exercise daily and you will find yourself burning calories while enjoying the surroundings and getting enough sunlight that is also good for your body.

2. Discover the wonders of Yoga. Yoga is one effective exercise that energizes not only your body but also your soul.

3. Engage yourself into sports. Play basketball, football, baseball, tennis or badminton. Many doctors have recommended sports as an effective way to stay fit and healthy. Sports can also be done in moderation. Do not take it seriously. Shooting basketball with a friend is one moderate exercise that is also considered a sport.

4. Join exercise programs at work. If you still do not have exercises programs at work, then why not start it? You can talk to your boss about it and start with your colleagues. You do not only lose calories but it is also one good way to bond with them. This can be done 30 minutes, 3 times a week.

5. Exercise while doing household chores. Gardening, raking leaves, lawn mowing, doing the laundry, vacuuming and car washing are effective moderate exercises at home.

You just have read all that you need to know about how to prevent being overweight. That simple set of instructions should be easy to follow, but not for 35% of Americans who are unable to prevent being overweight.

Of course, once we are overweight, we usually want to trim down for a whole lot of reasons, some related to health, others having to do with looks.

In addition, it is never too late to lose weight. But the fact is, it is a whole lot easier to prevent putting on pounds than to try losing them later on. And if there is one thing we all know, it is that weight gain is likely to happen if we do not take forward-looking steps to stop it.

Health experts say that most people who are into losing weight usually stray. They tend to go back to their old eating habits even after they learn to enjoy low-fat eating. They tend to return to sedentary ways even though they enjoy exercising.

But despite the momentum toward weight gain, you can stop it from happening, experts say. And there are plenty of good reasons to avoid excess pounds, reasons that go beyond vanity or social acceptance.

In fact, some health experts contend that the significance of excess weight is more than cosmetic. They say that it takes a huge toll on people’s physical health.

The Way to Losing Weight…Naturally

The nuts and bolts of eating right maintaining a healthy weight is not all that complicated. In fact, it is a good bet that most people know pretty well what is best. Hence, losing weight the natural way should not be a problem at all.

Consequently, a reasonable approach for losing weight naturally is to stick to a diet that is high in complex carbohydrates, high in fiber, moderate in protein, and low in fat.

A complex carbohydrate is a baked potato. Fat is the sour cream and butter you should not put on it. Fiber is vegetables. Fat is the oil you should not fry them in. Protein is a lean cut of meat. Fat is the gravy you should not pour over it.

Moreover, health experts say that dietary fat promotes weight gain because it is a very dense source of calories. Also, when you consume excess calories from dietary fat, you store those calories as body fat more efficiently than excess calories from other sources.

On the other hand, it can also help you lose weight naturally if you will not fall into the so-called “fat-free” trap. Manufacturers keep coming out with low-fat or fat-free versions of their best-selling foods, but Americans keep getting fatter anyway.

One of the greatest delusions of the 1990s is that “no fat” means “non-fattening.” The truth is, you are often getting just as many calories from the no-fat version, even if the calories are not coming from fat.

The term fat-free can be a trap if you start to believe that you can eat any amount of the foods that are advertised that way.

What’s more, it is best to respond to hunger with healthful snacks. Health experts say it would be better to try eating every three to four hours, which may mean a nutritious low-fat snack between lunch and dinner.

When you feel the urge for food coming on, snacking on something healthy such as a slice of whole-grain toasted bread is a better alternative. Never skip a meal and eat snacks instead because that is the worst thing you can do if you are trying to control your eating habits and weight.

Remember, if you want to lose weight naturally, you have to keep track of every food you eat and of every activity that you do. When you say natural weight loss means that you do not have to use some accessories or helpful aids just to lose weight.

Losing weight naturally is a process and not a fad. Hence, it would take a lot of dogged determination, self-control, and discipline just to achieve your ideal weight.

Children are supposed to be fit, happy and healthy, isn't that
how you want your child to be? It will pain your heart to know that more
and more children are falling into the vicious circle of this medical
condition and experiencing juvenile diabetes symptoms at a very early
age. Studies have shown that the children, including the teenagers are
showing symptoms of diabetes, which are usually the Type 1 category of
diabetes.

Though most people are not quite aware of it, that their
children can have diabetes at a very young age. One must take their
children for a blood test if any of the early juvenile diabetes symptoms
are being noticed by the parents in their kids. Early detection of this
medical problem will help you to give your kid you early treatment.

What do you mean by 'juvenile diabetes symptoms'?

Juvenile
diabetes is the Type 1 form of diabetes in the children and also the
teenagers. Children, in most of the cases of diabetes, were detected
with diabetes, Type 1. During this medical condition the pancreas
present in the human body, in this case, the child's body, cannot create
the insulin. Insulin is a substance which is needed by every human
being to control the level of sugar, which exists in the bloodstream of
the human being. Insulin helps the glucose to break down in the body in
the form of energy. Therefore, without the formation of insulin in the
body, the amount of glucose present in the body rises and this results
in diabetes (Type 1). The symptoms of diabetes in children (juvenile
diabetes) are same as type 1 diabetes in patients.

How to prevent children from suffering from juvenile diabetes symptoms- type 2?

The
juvenile diabetes symptoms children shows are quite common with any
other diabetes patient, men or women. Children get this medical
condition due to various reasons and knowing about these reasons can
help you to prevent this dreadful medical condition from affecting your
kid's health. As you all know by now, Type 1 is less severe than the
Type 2 class of diabetes and due to this, avoiding the risks and
triggers which causes Type 2 of diabetes is a must for your children,
especially if there is a history of diabetes present in the family.

There
are some specific ways through which you can safeguard your kids from
juvenile diabetes symptoms and signs of Type 2 diabetes. The most common
reason of children getting diabetes is due to overweight and obesity
which is increasing amongst children. Hence, the easiest way to keep
your child away from the high glucose level in the body is by making
them fit and offering them a proper healthy diet.

Things to do to keep your child away from Type 2 and juvenile diabetes symptoms are:

· Exercising or playing an outdoor sport every day so that they get regular workout
· Healthy diet - small meal within every three to four hours, less fried foods and sugary items
· Restrict the hours they watch television and also do computer
· Take your kids on hiking and camping, let them participate in every kind of physical activity
· Do not let them become a couch potato and always keep their weight balanced and maintained
